The tour kicked off in Manchester last weekend, with early results suggesting two couples dominating!
Show #1 saw Austin Healy, dancing Tango and Jive with Lilia Kopylova, score 39 and 32 respectively, win the show from Mark Ramprakash and Kristina Rihanoff (Argentine Tango 36 and Salsa 39) following the public vote.
In Show #2 the result was reversed, with Mark and Kristina taking the win from Austin and Lilia. Only three judges in this show (I'd been wondering how Arlene would be in two places at once!) so the scores were M&K Argentine Tango 28, Salsa 30; A&L Tango 28; Jive 24.
Show #3 ended with victory again for Mark and Kristina, with Austin and Lilia as runners up - scores: AT 29, Salsa 30 and Tango 30 and Jive 24. (No Arlene).
Show #4 saw Mark and Kristina win again, with scores: AT 38, Salsa 40, with the runners up spot taken this time by Ali and Brian, scoring 38 for their Viennese Waltz and 35 for their Samba.
Show #5 was all change as Austin and Lilia again took the win, scoring 40 for Tango and 34 for Jive, while runners up this time were Zoe and James, scoring 40 for Waltz and 35 for Rumba.
Moving onto Liverpool for Show #6 (without Len) saw another win for Austin and Lilia (Tango 30, Jive 25) with Ali and Brian runners up (VW 29, Samba 26).
Show #7 and it's the same result (A&L win, A&B R/U) without Len again, the scores were Tango 30, Jive 25; VW 29, Samba 26.
The overall results so far then:
Austin and Lilia: 4 wins, 2 R/U
Mark and Kristina: 3 wins, 1 R/U
Ali and Brian: 3 R/U
Zoe and James: 1 R/U
The other couples are Matthew Cutler and Kelly Brook, Ricky Groves and Aliona Vilani, Chris Hollins and Ola Jordan and Natalie Cassidy and Darren Bennett.

Bit of a resounding victory for past contestants then so far. Since Austin only came 4th in the end I think it shows how the public feel lol :o)
ReplyDeleteJust over 2 weeks to go Scatty! I can't wait! :o)
Me neither! Thrilled that M&K do the AT! And love that A&L doing Tango, knowing Lilia and how good Austin was at it, not surprised it's these two leading.
